In the anime

Gary Oak has a Fearow that may or may not have been caught as a Spearow.

The Spearow who Ash attacked in the first episode evolved before Pallet Party Panic. Ash's Pidgeotto evolved to Pidgeot to defeat it.

A Fearow attacks a Pidgey in Carrying On and Fly Me to the Moon, Pichu in The Apple Corp and Team Rocket in Freeze Frame and The Big Balloon Blow-Up.

Team Rocket agent Tyson owns 2 Fearow.

Rico, the hunter of Ekans and Koffing owned two Fearow.

Paul attempts to capture a Fearow in DP046. By the end of the episode, it is unclear whether or not he succeeds.

In the manga

Ran has a pair of Fearow she used to attack Shuu in Pokémon Getto Da Ze!.

Ash had a Fearow he caught in the Electric Tale of Pikachu. It was his first capture and he gave it the nickname of "Fearless", although it wasn't very obedient towards him.

In the Pokémon Special manga

Fearow debuts in the Red, Green & Blue chapter in ...But Fearow Itself! when a wild one kidnaps a mutated Bill. After being stopped by an Ice attack from Poliwhirl, Red catches it. It most powerful move is Drill Peck.

Professor Oak also has a Fearow that evolved from a Spearow.

Trivia

Origin

Its appearance may be vaguely based off of the cormorant.

Name origin

Fearow's name is a combination of the words fear and sparrow. Its Japanese name can be taken to mean 鬼ドリル, demon drill, although it is worth noting that the first four syllables can be taken to mean 鬼鳥 onidori, demon bird.

In other languages

  • German: Ibitak
  • French: Rapasdepic - Rapace means predatory and piquer can mean to swoope. Effectively translates as "swooping predator".
  • Korean: 깨비드릴조 Kkaebideuriljo
  • Chinese (Taiwan): 大嘴雀 Dài Zűi Qîao - Means "big-mouthed sparrow".
  • Chinese (Hong Kong): 魔雀 Mó Qîao - Means "monster sparrow".
